    No, not 60/40, what are you on about?

    Bigger purse... whether its 60/40, 55/45, 52/48 etc... it's not the point here..it's that Mayweather has PROVEN he in entitled to the bigger purse in a business perspective and pro boxing is undeniably a business.

    Jansby mac. How are you man. There is no need for you to argue.

    I have the math solution for you. It is kind of top secret so here goes:

    ADDITION:happy

    Don't tell too many people o.k. Jansby.

    Here is how you use it.
    All numbers in addition are known as an addend, term or summand. sometime the first term is referred to as an augend.

    Add up all PBF's ppvs(ODLH, Hatton etc are all addends) then add up all Pacs ppvs(Cotto, Hatton, ODLH are all addends) and compare the results of the two sums.

    PBF's will be bigger.

    To verify this you can use 'drum roll' SUBTRACTION.

    Now in subtraction the first number is the Minuend and the second number is the subtrahend.

    When you take the subtrahend(Pacs ppvs) from the minuend(PBF's ppvs),
    then you will end up with a positive number for PBF.

    However if you make pac's ppvs the minuend and PBF's ppvs the subtrahend then you will end up with a negative number for Pac.

    We all know that positive numbers are greater than negative numbers therefore PBF deserves a bigger share of the purse split.

    :hi:

    1. Pac was on a winning streak and P4P#1 - objective
    2. demand equal purses shows how much of a primadonna he has become. - opinion

    What I'm saying you stupid fool is that
    1. don't say math if it is not math
    2. in a negotitation where we can't determine who really is the draw...with the 2 best trying to make the fight happen...50-50 is the best way to go...

    unless you have a mathematical formula of couse...

    Uli please just stop with this ****...it is getting old...I enjoyed it a couple of post back but even I got bored...

    Did I ever say that I thought 70-30 was an appropriate split? No, I didn't. Also the amount of promotion and timing of the fight is left at the discretion of the parties involved. If those parties were unlucky in choosing a date that would potentially help their revenue that is their fault, or their poor luck. But how much would that boost revenue. Can you prove that it boosted revenue past what Pacquiao-De La Hoya did? No, I don't think you can. Boxing splits are not exact, but the picture is clear enough to suggest and detail that Mayweather is the larger draw.

    But good game, but even you can't explain away 4 head to heads as to why Mayweather consistently beats Pacquiao. Guess its above your mental aptitude.

    60-40 is what some mayweather fans yap about and insist on. personally, i don't like those numbers knowing how team pac would not agree. 55-45, 52-48, 50-50, no problem just as long as both camps agree and make the fight.

    floyd fans insisting on 60-40 knowing it won't get the fight sicken me. as if they achieve orgasm knowing floyd recieves a lot of money.

    From a business point of view, Mayweather has been more successful..maybe because he is SMARTER, maybe out of sheer luck, but Mayweather has made more, produced more, and drawn more than Pacquiao. FACT.

    Bob Arum can't use opinion and expect it to hold any weight when trying to argue why Pac deserves 50%.

    Mediator: Why does Pac deserve 50%?
    Arum/Team Pac: Because, well, you know, factors, uh, surrounding previous fights...
    Mediator: U dumb.

    In a business the bottom line is the bottom line, PPVs, revenue is what matters...DEAL WITH IT.

    Well this is my thread and I'm no Floyd fanatic. 60/40 wouldn't be bad, but something closer in numbers wouldn't either...:good

    Actually, Mayweather should start negotiations at 60/40 and come down to an agreement around 55-45.

    you clicked on a thread that said math in the title, and you expected something other than talk about numbers?

    Thanks for the compliment.:good I really don't need the prize but I wouldn't mind the money that you get with it.:yep

    I read your previous post and I see the (invalid)point you are attempting to make.

    If everything is subjective, what do you suggest we use as a means to determine purse split. Lets not argue over this. Let Roach and Pac decide this for us.

    After the Pac Cotto fight, both Roach and Pacman said: "Pac deserves the bigger purse split because Pac Cotto outsold May Marquez":hey

    You see Jansby They were using ppvs to determine who should get the bigger purse split.:hey

    Do you suggest we use another method Jansby?:huh

    Respectfully and as a fellow boxing fan please let me know that other method so we can suggest it to the Pacman.

    Yes. This is a boxing website. When I see a thread with a title like "Floyd is a ***" I don't expect photographs of Floyd Mayweather actually having penetrative anal sex.
